I'm a bit scatterbrained in this post...

15 years ago, today, my mom died. I almost never remember on this actual day so I thought I would blog about it. Sometimes, it seems like it was last month. Sometimes, it seems like it was 30 years ago.

Dwayne's cousin had a baby girl on February 18th. That's the same day Danica was born. They were both born with a heart murmur and at almost the same time. And, our baby is Danica Aliyah. Her baby's first name is Aliyah. Isn't that cool? None of this was discussed before the births.

I just found out my husband had absolutely no plans to get a vasectomy. We had discussed it before and he said he was going to do it. Because he didn't seem to be in a rush, I went ahead and scheduled my procedure. The other day, during a conversation, he told me he was never going to get fixed anyway. Sucka!

I have some really good friends who don't live in Houston. I miss them!

Danica smiles a lot now. I love it! She gives the best smiles to Danae though. She's scared of Brayden. If he gets too close, she will cry or turn her head away. I don't blame her one bit. He's dangerous! He has already hit her twice trying to play with her.

Please continue to pray for my niece's health. The doctors confirmed that she has Down Syndrome. She also has two holes in her heart that will need to be surgically repaired when she's a little older.

You know men are the biggest cowards in the world. I can't believe Dwayne said that. I'm happy Danica is smiling for Danae, she told me Bethany smiles more than Danica because Danica doesn't smile. I will continue to pray for your niece.

Sorry to hear about your niece. Will say a prayer for her. My husband is "chicken" about the V-word too! Told him if he doesn't get it done I'm going to keep having a babies!

I am sorry for you loss. Good mothers are so awesome and people we can never forget.

Children are so precious. I am glad she is smiling alot. A baby's smile can make any day into a wonderful day.

I cannot believe Dwayne. He is so chicken. My hubby has not gotten one yet even though he said he is going to. However, I am determined not to get fixed since I carried two babies and delivered them vaginally. I don't plan on giving in on this. Now if we end up having two more kids then I may think about it.

I will continue to pray for your niece and her parents. I cannot imagine what they are feeling right now. But I do know that God is in control and He will not put any more on us than we can bear.

I have friends in Houston and I really miss them and hope to see them towards the end of this month (hint hint).

I will continue to pray for your niece and in laws. I work with children with Down's and I can't even imagine what they are going through right now.

Dwayne is a punk but he sounds like most men I know. There is only one person that comes to my mind that would do it without thinking twice. You know who I am talking about Bridge.

I love to see smiling babies. It is funny to hear that Danica is already scared of her brother.

I will pray for your niece. God is able.

Since I am not a man, I don't think I'll ever understand why men are scared of the V-word.

Danica smiled at me quite a bit this weekend. I feel so special. :)

I can't believe this.....April 7 is my mother's birthday.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
